Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Wife Found Dead

In May 2010, Robert, the son of former U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, filed for divorce from Mary after 16 years of marriage. Details of their divorce filing were kept private.

At the time of the filing, police were summoned to Kennedy’s home for a “domestic incident,” according to reports. Robert, a radio host and environmental activist, alleged his wife was intoxicated.

Three days later, Mary was arrested for driving while intoxicated after police spotted her running over a curb near her home. Police said she had a .11 blood alcohol level. She pleaded guilty to a lesser charge, was fined $500 and had her license suspended for 90 days.
